At Living Bread Ministries we believe the local church is the most effective tool for fulfilling the Great Commission. We also believe the Body of Christ has a responsibility to minister to the needs of the poor. This also is done best by the local church. Therefore we are planting churches among the desperately poor of Latin America.

Dear M300 Ministries, prayer partners and supporters,
Radiant greetings in our Lord Jesus who is our time and perfect tabernacle Heb 8:2,,9:10 and the slain lamb whose priceless blood sheltered our hearts and homes through his great body’s sacrifice and body translated into heaven
To Wayne, your encouraging dazzling love words arrested our attention and have highly moved our hearts as has never before moved by womb of human lips. Seriously and earnestly, we are deeply moved with the spirit to humble and humiliate ourselves under his feet as He swings on the Roman executioner’s hot cross. This is also augmenting his suffering, which alerts us to be watchfuland full back and hard-hitting Satan’s darts that are against God’s kingdom and His saved hardcore believers –Hallelujah!
1.WE ARE MOVED TO USE ALL DIALECTS & CULTURES TO REVITALIZE AND PENENTRATE FULLY ON SOUL WINNING:
1Cor 9:19-23,mt 22:9-10
“Go therefore into highways -----“I love this verse 1 cor 9:22 “To weak I became as weak that I might gain the weak. I am made all things to all men, that I might by all men save some----“
I am to beg to draw all of your attentions to accept with me that we who are called shepherds or {pastors} of the local congregation, we ought to love plenty of teachings and monitor teachings,and train others to teachin our fellowships. This will be obviously more possible if we are equipped with Bibles, spiritual commentaries, Bible dictionaries and reference books and guide books in addition as added resources to the Holy Bible-Give glory to the highest and majesty God!!
The Lord is our generous giving God and pray for the above issue of learning materials and this will be the vital way of shepherding ministries to share in the following areas:
-Pastoral counseling ( for personal or family problems
-Strengthening families
-Watching over the flock’s spiritual life
-Organizing and leading so that all use their spiritual gifts in ministry.
BUILDING LOVING FELLOWSHIP, ONE WITH ANOTHER
Our fellowships are getting on climatically well, and others are being drawn into our networking for the vital sake (purpose) of preaching the Gospel in the basis of love one another John 13: 34 – 35, Thess 4:9, 1st John 2:11, 14 etc.
2. Prayers
Lord Jesus, you died for us, rose back to life and are (you) ascended into glory, my flock and I love, teach us to serve you with love by obeying your commandments” Amen
2.20:09:09 (Sunday)
An independent house church group consisting of 8 believers chose to fellowship with us. In my role witnessing with M300 Ministries we were fully fed the spiritual divine teachings and bread of the word. Consequently they presented their interest to network and fellowship with M300 Ministries – praise God. Pray for them to have Bibles and other spiritual weapons. “Let us be mighty in words and deeds” and esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches if we sacrifice to reach more souls in this Agape love. To bring into attentions the lesson of Aquila and Priscilla instructs Apollos Acts 18: 24 – 28.
4. Solicitation and prayer request for an increase in the very small amount of support that I receive from local church body
I am blessed here by believers who give first to the Lord and then to me, but my support is less than $5.00 US Dollars per month.
The local believers survive only living in a state of slender means. From the inner depths of my heart, its not a shame or beyond shadows of shame to quote to you this truth that my local and total support does not exceed ksh. 350/= that is approximately $5 USD. And not all months, for defending my divine calling, I solemnly account this support for transportation needs, but not something that is enough to help support my wife and children. Beloved brother Wayne, you beloved wife and the saints of higher devotions, pray for a generous hand of donation through our God's miraculous intervention. The situation of the economy here is extremely poor.
Yet may God be praised always! (If you are reading this and would like to help provide ministry support to Pastor John Aming'a or orphans and widows in his area of Kenya please use this link: www.m300ministries.org/giving
Orphans photos
I AM FOCUSING ON ORPHANS CARE CENTER CERTIFICATE PLEASE LET YOUR PRAYERS BE UPON IT

My congregations are not economically able and we contributes insufficient aid to them i.e. Common basic necessities (provisions) food, clothes, good shelters and others to their staying homes they are our faithful devoted church members. Have a look to them as described here – one old unfortunate lame mother with three children, three young girls standing, 2 girls and a boy, 2 young boys next to dotted animal picture.

POINTS OF CENTER OF ATTENTION
7.RE: M300 MINISTRIES RECOGNITION CREDENTIAL CERTIFICATE TO ME AND CONSIDER THE REGISTRATION OF M300 MINISTRIESIN KENYA
“Mt 21:21 - 22”Believe and you will receive”
I am highly pleased to partner with M300 Ministries to plant churches here in Kenya. It would be beneficial locally to operate as a minister laboring with M300ministries directly here in Kenya.
Every government in this global world has its own rules.I, as a Kenyan servant of God, I absolutely believe that Kenya is a God fearing and religious country, here whereby it needs everyone to work with full freedom without any interruption from any side.In this cause, ministry registration of M300 Ministries will be crucial and beneficial both for M300 Ministries and for myself to be able to fully identify myself as partnering with the international ministry of M300 Ministries. Please give this prayerful consideration..
8.CERTIFICATE OF AUTONOMOUS PARTNERSHIP WITH M300 MINISTRIES.
I earnestly request that as a autonomous partnering ministry that you consider providing to me a M300 Ministries certificate or credential. I will frame and place it on my wall, as well as using it to identify my ministry with the international ministry of M300 Ministries.We zealously pray that if it be God’s will to draw even more workers into partnership with M300ministries both here and internationally.
9 IMPORTANT MATTER
-Pray for M300 Ministries registration here Kenya
-Send me the above certificate if possible soon.

Partner with a generous donor and initiate change in the lives of 4 million who are struggling with poverty in Honduras. Gifts will be matched until we reach $500,000.
In May 2009, this donor traveled to Honduras on a Heifer Study Tour. She was moved by what she saw -- a community in recovery … and thriving.
Farmers with improved soil and increased harvests.
Women breaking gender barriers to provide for their families.
A community with increased income, better nutrition, and a voice in the government and marketplace.
Heifer’s model has been successful in communities around the world for 65 years, and that model begins with you funding projects like this one in Honduras.
And, speaking of successful equations, remember Heifer's Pass on the Gift commitment ensures that recipients pass on livestock and training to another family in need, extending change to entire communities.
Just imagine the impact $1 million will make with the perfect equation of you, Heifer’s model, and the waiting communities of Honduras.
Thank you for your compassion and support,
Ashley Michael
Heifer International
Equation for Change:
Heifer communities in Honduras are experiencing dramatic change. Take Diamant Hogar's mission, a school that teaches self-sufficiency through education and job training. No longer living on the streets, these boys represent the possibility of a better future. And that change begins with your matched gift today!

This passage jumped out at me today and I am going to live it this week. Thought I would share it with the rest of you.
Psalm 106
1 Praise the LORD.
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
his love endures forever.
2 Who can proclaim the mighty acts of the LORD
or fully declare his praise?
3 Blessed are they who maintain justice,
who constantly do what is right.
4 Remember me, O LORD, when you show favor to your people,
come to my aid when you save them,
5 that I may enjoy the prosperity of your chosen ones,
that I may share in the joy of your nation
and join your inheritance in giving praise.
6 We have sinned, even as our fathers did;
we have done wrong and acted wickedly.
Let me add a bit of thoughts that came to me as I read over this passage today in a worship service. The Lord is good forever...Praise the Lord. When we consider the LORD note that in the Bible when LORD is spelled in capital letters it usually refers to the Father and when spelled as Lord it is refering to the Son. As an Old Testament passage the rendition here is LORD refering to GOD.
The very next question is, "Who can proclaim the mighty acts of the LORD or fully declare his praise?" As ministry leader at M300 Ministries I am often led to pray and praise the LORD. More often than not I simply cannot express fully and sufficiently all of the praise that God deserves. Who can proclaim his mighty acts? We sure try but we fall very short of being able to do this. Blessed are those who maintain justice, who constantly do what is right. There is another passage that comes to mind and it is very relevant for the days that we live in. This passage is clear and concise but most often not adhered to. Take a look:
Isaiah 5:20 NIV
20 Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter.
In our days there is plenty of evil that is called good and plenty of good that is called evil. The LORD says woe to the people who would do such a thing. If it is evil then it is evil, if it is good then it is good. In this regard we should call things as they are with greater confidence.
Verse 4 stood out to me in a very personal way as we are walking in this 100% faith walk. We desire God's blessing upon this ministry and upon us personally. This is a good thing and we call it such. We are not so much concerned about material blessings other than the fact that it enables us to minister and serve people more effectively. But this passage speaks volumes about being in a place where God can bless you. This passage calls upon God to remember "me" when he saves his people and to come to "my" aid. I need God's help, don't you?
Verse 5 Holds promise for those who have given up everything to walk in God's calling, God's 100% faith calling. Look at the highlighted words in this verse.
5 that I may enjoy the prosperity of your chosen ones,
that I may share in the joy of your nation
and join your inheritance in giving praise.
Enjoy, prosperity, share, joy, join, inheritance, giving praise. This is where I desire to be. I want to be in a position that God can bless. I want M300 Ministries to be in a position that God can bless. I don't want to ever minimize the Gospel or depend upon my own understanding but rather depending upon the LORD and his Holy Word I desire God's blessing for you, me, my family, your family, this ministry and all faithful ministries. We all need to desire God's blessing that it be upon us especially in these dark and hard days. Is this greedy? Is this "feel good" preaching? I dare say not by calling good as good. God wants to bless all of us as our heavenly Father not wanting that we should do anything out of fear but rather by prayer and supplication making our request known to Him.
I watched the PM of Israel speak before the UN today and I could not help but comprehend how God decided to choose the Israeli people as His own special people. How God gave them a land of their own and how they provoked God to wrath and jealousy. The Lord still remembers His people, the people of Israel. The Lord has seen fit to graft in those who are Christians so we say..."Lord may we also as those grafted in enjoy the prosperity of your chosen ones. May we as those grafted in share in the joy of your nation Israel and join in your inheritance in giving praise.
In verse 6 we see where repentance took place and the pslamist recognized the wrong that was done by previous generations and his own generation. We as human beings need to recognize and acknowledge that we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. We have missed the mark. We have fallen short. We cannot come to the LORD except through Jesus Christ our Saviour, our way, our Truth, and our Light.
It is my hope that this short passage will speak to you today in a special way.
Some folks passing through Texarkana last week noted signs in people's yards that said, " America, prayer is our only hope" with 2 Chron. 7:14 underneath. We certainly need God's help!
I have no idea who started this, but I certainly agree with this e-mail. I heard a preacher say "if we pray for our nation, things will turn around".
I have decided to reach out to my friends and relatives and ask you to do something that has been troubling me for a long time.
Our nation is/has been on the slippery slope for a long time. If you look around you will find corruption, greed, moral decay, and a steady move away from the things that made us great. The principles upon which this nation was founded are no longer our backbone. However, we can reverse this trend.
2 Chron. 7:14 in God's word he states, "If mypeople who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn fromtheir wicked ways, thenI will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their Land."
I am convinced that we must pray for our nation and its leaders and ask for forgiveness So I ask you to join me in this plea to our Lord.
Would you please send this to people in your address book (send it to all believers); ask them to pray EVERYDAY.
25 to only the 5th power is 9,765,625 people. IMAGINE if each person reaches TEN others...or all TWENTY FIVE!
If you do and they comply, we will lift up millions and millions of prayers a day to our Creator. He will hear, and will answer.
Let me just add a quote from Ronald Reagan "If we ever forget that we are one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under." I truly believe this is why the United States of America is in the shape we are in today. Most people have forgotten that we are one nation under God! Let us as Christians stand up and remind people of this.
At the link below you will find our September Instituto Teológico Latinoamericano (ITL) Newsletter in PDF format. It is so exciting to see how God is using this tool for His glory. It is also exciting to see how God is giving us all an opportunity to help “Teach the CENTRAL MESSAGE in CENTRAL AMERICA” through those who are training at ITL.
The Lord put on our heart..."Go to Mexico".."Vaya a Mexico". We want to be in the "100% sweet spot" where 100% faith and 100% obedience come together. The "100% sweet spot" is the spot where God says..."That's the kind of faith that I can bless!"

This month God blessed our ministry work with a "wonderful dream team" on harvest. God blessed us by helping to network our ministry and creating a desire within us to pray for the progress of future visions and plans. This method leads us to involve everyone by asking all Christians to pray with joy for this vision both in their homes and with the group fellowship. We are asking Christians to commit to pray for the following ministry focuses:
To win more people to Christ.
To proclaim God's word boldly and without fear.
To practice the "one another: relational church body life".
To multiply ministry groups to bring Christ and the Holy Spirit's power to every family in our community and whole nations converted to God.
Multiply churches of the Lord, so that there be one in every neighborhood in our area.
For the Good News to flow through the local churches and the networks of M300 Ministries spread by families and friends world wide. Acts 16:13-15 and verse 31.
For this blessing to start with the head of each family . Remember, God does not see a person as an isolated individual but as a part of a larger family, friends and community. The Apostles witnessed to Lydia, then they reached out to her entire family.
To continue to walk in the light and carrying our crosses in this way:
a) This week we met at one of the main local churches who are working with M300 Ministries, it is called Peace Core Valley Church. I was happy to introduce and share my appointment as a mighty warrior with M300 Minstries. All of our local churches agreed to continue to work along with M300 Ministries as a partner here in Kenya this includes other local churches where I minister and it includes all of our cell churches. This eternal spiritual coupling and autonomous partnership is highly appreciated and the announcement led to the highest praises and glory to God. Applause thundered throughout all of the shaded packed room, Allelujah.
b) Our beloved country Kenya earnestly announced a state of emergency due to exceedingly great rain from El NINO (The torrential rain which devastates and paralizes human's life here. We instantly request that all M300 Minstries partners pray to our Jehovah Jireh God to protect us through His wonderful mercies because people here are in scared stiff.
c) We scrupulously join hands to work tirelessly to reach the whole world for Jesus Christ by proclaiming the gospel to all people. We are happy to count on the partnership of M300 Ministries in this endeavor.
Precisely my verses of my sermon this week was on the subject of Mighty Warriors of the past times ( world) applying to our appointed age.
Daniel 6:1 defended his faith as : mighty for his yahweh" they said "if" Daniel 3:17-18
Joshua 10:7-10
Samson- Judges 14:15-20, 16:22-31
THE LOCAL CHURCH ORPHANS SEEK SCHOOL FACILITIES BY PRAYER REQUEST
From the spiritual and mercies vantage point I am happy to draw your attention to this report that this world fiercely has caused more upsurge deaths to untold families leaving squllion children parentless and indeed critical areas of living death of life to this children left staying in a ram shackled homes or house wonderful state of rallying points to be into serious considration.
For one, may I commit myself and validly attach the photos of the few orphans among others who has none to care for them, relied on the poor supports from the church compassionate believers. They have no father or nor mother they are staying with their old aged grandmothers of approximately 108 years they are schooling in difficulties due to lack of enough support. To keep them sustainable your generous hands upon them will be of a wonderful help. God bless!!.

This chronic I must have written four weeks ago, but in view of the illness of my wife, which I recently reported, motivated this backlog. Thanks to God and your prayers, my wife is recovering, which has allowed me to have my fresh mind to write. Always ask your prayers for your total recovery.
It is a day Saturday, 8 August/2009. Very early hours of the morning, my wife and I undertake travel, another journey missionary, this time we are heading to EL PORTILLO, Department of Chalatenango. This area is one of the most mountainous of the nation. Arriving in the city of Chalatenango, capital of this Department begins Road Mountain above. When I was child had heard my father of these places, I talk about some 50 years ago; in those days, reach these villages was a real Odyssey, there were no paved roads, they were dirt roads and stones, where only the beasts of burden, mules, horses and donkeys, them was accessible transit through these trails. As we move we reached a village called "The returns"(“Las Vueltas”) and is really who he was appointed, to make true honor to this place, because they are real laps or curves very pronounced, accompanied by cliffs on either side. Other town that we are going through is: “Eyes Water”(“Ojos de Agua”) also honoring that from the high mountains rises real bubbling cent per cent pure and crystal clear water.
This region at the time of the armed conflict between army and guerrillas for twelve years was a real field of battle, transit through these roads and sidewalks did not provide any personal security. This factor of armed struggle, 16 January 1992 which ended with the signing of the peace, yet offers sequels, the road now leads to these places is in a bad situation, I could not call small and sporadic bumps, really are craters that are too much. God asking because the new Government that we now have in this nation from 1 ° June of this year, put attention and interest in completely rebuild this road. Despite such inconveniences road, we enjoy the beautiful landscape infrastructure that emit these mountains, is a true delicacy in our eyes, which makes express truly emotional phrases and corroborate the majestic and wonderful of God's creation. Viewing this magnitude, our knees falls to what God has formed!
Three and a half hours later, we reach El Portillo, there, is and grows the Church of Christ, whose establishment data of roughly thirty-two years ago. View the church there, excites and happy mind and heart, because in that remote mountains, there is the family of God. Brother Emir Ayala is the preacher, every day an average of 45 Christians come together to worship and glorify the name of God. El Portillo is a hamlet, which seems rather a small village nestled in the sierra; the Church has a nice place of meetings, which can hold about one hundred people.
The reason for our trip was due to this Saturday, August 8, there developed the fourth Seminar for preachers and teachers women of the Churches of Christ in the central area of El Salvador - year 2009. The guest preacher was brother Efrain Gutierrez, but by reason of being broken their health, asked me that I replaced. Anticipating the situation was brother Efrain, early I agree with the members of the Committee had been appointed, which focused on "The Holiness in the Servant of God"theme, so I explained under these three subjects: 1. How Get the Holiness? 2. In order to fulfill the Holiness is require Purity. 3. How we Sustain The Holiness.
The attendance was 85 brothers and sisters, all representing 19 congregations. Most of them were transported in a bus that the Committee rented. The concurrency comment about the exposed subject, were very stimulants, all aware that we must take great care to our Holiness, which warns us seriously our Lord as servants of God: “Make every effort to live in peace will all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord” (Hebrews 12: 14).
Something that left us very satisfied to all concurrent event was the Church at El Portillo was very built-up with spiritual support on behalf of the 19 represented congregations. In addition, this Church had the opportunity to show the spirit of generosity providing breakfast and lunch to all who attended, the sisters prepared food with much delivery and love. It was also noticeable that the seminar was in the building of the elementary school of that place, which gave witness to the presence of the Church in this town. If the Lord will,we will repeat this kind of activity in El Portillo by 2010. Brothers and sisters: That honor and glory are always to our Heavenly Father, the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit!
(PCN) Poor displaced Christian families are being deprived of food, water, shelter and most other basic human needs.
The displaced Christian people of Islamabad told Pakistan Christian News (PCN) that they are living under a very critical situation. PCN was told that government did set out one small water plant for them, but then after one day it malfunctioned and did not work again. The main concern of all Christian refugees is a dangerous drain near the tents where Christian poor children have fallen in and many have died.
It is very pathetic, dangerous and precarious when rains comes. The Christian refugees report that there is no way to stop the rain from entering the tents and soiling the contents and their refugee inhabitants. Most of the tents are very old and are most often in rough condition and torn.
After recent rains many of the aged Christian refugees and children became ill. There is a special concern as the winter season is coming. There are no known plans to help care for these Christian refugees over the winter.
These Christian refugees have pronounced shortages of food. Often their children have come to the streets to beg for food seeking to fill their bellies.
The Christian refugees told PCN, "The future of our children is nothing, but to wonder around like pigs eating from the trash.
This report was prepared by PCN with the help of M300 Ministries.

I am on the airplane to Brazil and I have decided thus far to call this part of this mission trip a “Mission In Motion”. You may be curious as to why this is so. It is because we have been in motion trying to get to Brazil for the better part of two days now. Later “A Mission In Motion” will surely have other meanings, as it has in the past. For right now it simply means that we are moving in the Lord in that direction currently at 45,000 feet altitude and many hundreds of miles per hour. I can’t help but think that the Apostle Paul would have liked this ride as compared to the ship wreck and viper incident. What do you think? On my end of the bargain I say respectfully, “To each his own.” Although there was a time when I was on a ship along the Mosquito coast of Honduras headed to a different mission ministering to the Mosquito Indians.
Let me move on and get this out of the way and make a formal complaint to the airlines. The seat space is not big enough for an adult and a laptop. There, done! I was blessed with an empty seat next to me, but I am feeling a bit like a contortionist and will surely develop corporal tunnel syndrome if I am not careful…all of the angles are wrong for writing but I have some things to share that I need to do from here while they are fresh in my mind. Now two hours later and reviewing this writing I am happier. I found two vacant seats next to the emergency exit so there is leg room and laptop room. Yeah! But the trade off is I have to be the one to open the door…hmm… I’ll take the trade off.
If you remember …yesterday the Lord led me to read the whole book of Revelations while flying from Atlanta to Miami. You will remember what I learned …if not look at yesterday writing at http://www.m300ministries.org/reports1
As a follow up to the Lord’s leading yesterday about Rainbows and Covenants, the Lord led me last night to read Ezekiel chapters 1 through 17. Do you know what I learned about Ezekiel and his visions from the Lord? I learned what Ezekiel learned, except with the added benefit of our hind sight being 20/20. I can see and understand more clearly some of what the Lord was talking to Ezekiel because history has unfolded since God gave Ezekiel his vision.
One main point that takes place in these chapters is how God took a man, Ezekiel, and lifted Him up by his hair…(oddly enough) and took him places and showed him terrible things that God’s people were doing. Terrible things that God’s leaders were doing while thinking that no one saw them and that no one knew. The leaders did terrible things that defiled God’s Holy temple and caused God to depart from His chosen people.
At one point in the vision Ezekiel is told that there is a hole in the wall and that he is to dig in the hole where he will find a door. Ezekiel is told to open the door and see what the temple priest were doing inside. The temple priestthought that they were hiding in the dark and doing things that neither God nor other men could see. Guess what? God saw it and took, Ezekiel to witness it also by way of a portal…a hole in the wall with a door.It is like God stood there with a friend looking through one of those one way mirrors and in sorrow points out to Ezekiel the source of his hurt, jealousy and wrath. Remember this very thing!The very next time that you think you are doing, or can do something that neither God or others can see be assured that God has holes in the walls. God has hidden doors in the walls of life. God is a jealous God and God is anguished at our folly and foolishness. Our God is omnipresent and omnipotent and seeing all and knowing all. We are on the side of the mirror that is but a dim reflection but God and his witnesses are on the side that sees clearly and plainly the happenings of our lives. Ezekiel the man of God called to be God’s witness and God’s concierge.
When Ezekiel obeyed and dug into the hole and peered inside he saw the door that he opened and a sight to behold. The priest were burning incense to idols and false Gods. Then the Lord made it clear that this was an abomination. The Lord God took Ezekiel from scene to scene of where and how men were defiling His Holy temple and sinning in His presence.Ultimately God showed Ezekiel a man dressed in white linen cloth with a writing tablet on his side. Along with this man dressed in white appeared 6 men with war clubs.The man in white was instructed to go about the temple and the city and to mark on the forehead of the faithful and those who were ashamed of what was happening in God’s temple , a mark of God. Quickly following behind the man in white were the men with the war clubs. The men with the war clubs also had a commandment from the Lord. The commandment was to kill all men, women and children who did not bear the mark of God on their forehead. God’s instruction actually was very explicit in that He said…”Start here in my temple” In other words judgment began at the house of God and within His own people who were unfaithful.
God was sad! God was mad! God was disappointed! God could have killed everyone to cleanse His Holy temple. At this time God dwelt in temples made with hands so His requirement by nature and necessity was a Holy dwelling place fit for Him to dwell within. With the house of the Lord having been defiled by Satanic worship, demon worship, idol worship and all sorts of evil and sorceries the Lord could have ended everyone’s life in an instant. In a single heartbeat God could have pulled the plug.
Why do you suppose that He did not? God cleansed His people and His temple but God also chose to make an exit. God vacated. God left the scene. God moved back to heavenly realms. God chose for a time and a season to not dwell with man because of man’s sin and evil works.
I find it important that God chose to leave instead of making man leave. God is such a gentleman or gentle God and his protocol is protocol. God chose to leave and to also leave a remnant in place that He himself would redeem at the proper time. The time has come and the time is continually at hand. God is saving people today. The remnant will be saved by all indications because of God’s power, exceedingly great favor and his all merciful grace.But get this loud and clear! God left the house. The book of Ezekiel made a big case of God’s exit and goes into detailed descriptions of the cherubs and their 4 wheels. How they did not lean forward or back but could roll instantaneously in any direction. It talks about how the Spirit of God went up to the top of the door post instead of residing on the arc of the covenant. But the most pressing thing that God showed me was that He chose to leave. He chose to leave instead of making all men leave. Sure the wicked and the guilty were slain but they go their pay for the evil committed before the Lord of host. God is clear that judgment will happen and that the guilty will pay. The souls of the martyrs cry out from under the throne of God asking when they will be avenge and God gives them white robes and tells them that it is not time yet…the number of your brothers who will be martyred is notcomplete yet. A later reading in Revelations show that the time indeed will come when all 7 seals will be loosened and the bowls of wrath will be poured out upon the guilt and the wicked.When I read this the timelines were confusing so I remember thinking clearly…I can’t figure the timeline of Revelations out so it must be stuff that will happen way into the distant future.Woe is me because Ezekiel is told by the Lord that the men of his time were saying the same thing that God’s judgments and wrath and God’s promises were all for the distant future. Look and what Ezekiel was told to tell the men of his time. Judgment will happen now. God is not slack concerning his promises.
As we head down to Brazil this is part of the message to Brazil…God’s judgment is upon men but there is a way to be reconciled to the Holy creator of the universe through Jesus Christ who is the way the truth and the light. There is no other way to the Father except by Jesus Christ His precious son who was sacrificed precisely for the terrible sins of man.
Clipping along her at 45,000 feet with corporal tunnel I need to end these thoughts as we fly over the latest hurricane in the Caribbean. The ride is bumpy, the plane is up and down, the Lord is sovereign in all things concerning his faithful servants. The Lord has a habit of asking me…” If it ended right now…would it have been sufficient?” Thus far I have always said …”Yes Lord it is all in all!” Amen…Jesus is on the throne and evil men will scuttle to the darkened corners to attempt to hide their evil deeds but God has a portal…there is a hole in the wall…inside of the hole is a door and God’s servants are told to open this door and to peer in as God shows us the horrible side of mankind.God sees you…we see you…God is sovereign. Be blessed so that you an bless. Continue to lift up the Brazil mission trip. It is 11 am and only another 13 hours to arrive at around midnight in our Brazilian destination.All honor and glory to him the Holy one of God.
Just to catch you up a bit on the Brazil Mission Trip...Day 1 We left from N.E. Georgia this morning around 6 am and drove down to Atlanta and then flew down to Miami, Florida. For some reason I decided to read the entire book of Revelations on the flight. I think it was part a leading and part something that I had never done. I had read chapters and verses and studied portions but I never just sat an read the whole thing straight through. This was the opportunity to do it. At first when I finished reading it I didn't thing I had gotten anything other than a general feel for the whole diffulcult book of Revelations. I know many have interpreted it in many different ways and surely it is hard to understand in some portions.
Reading it at 40,000 feet and 600 miles per hour did give a new perspective to me and the perspective is first that God is soverign in all things in the life of those who believe and secondly that His promises are "covenant promises" and are true.
Now it is 8:30 pm and we are still waiting for a few of the guys to show up from Texas, West Virginia and other far flung places. Most of these guys and gals have been on this trip before and some are even "veterans". This is good and exciting, but as it is with each group there are those who have never made the trek to Brazil. The element of being a "Newbie" adds excitement to the atmosphere of the mission trip.
Alone in the back seat of a small Toyota care I couldn't help but think the following thoughts today as we drove into Atlanta, Georgia:
"This is my sweet spot" Missions
"This is my groove" Missions
"This is what I am made for" Missions
"This is the fit that powers me up...to be on mission"
My middle sone is a fanatic for hunting and it strongly dominates his mind and his passion and I see in his fanaticism for hunting the same fanaticism that God has installed in me for international missions. it is dominating and good....real good! Just thought I would share that with you from a hotel in Miami, which by the way is nearly a foreign country to some people. As we talked in the hotel lobby and got acquainted with each other a strong thunderstorm brewed up outside. I mentioned to Darrin that I hope that tomorrow would be better weather for the flight down to Brazil. Shortly after that the rain broke and a "rainbow promise" appeared in the sky.
You might say that rainbows happen frequently and they do! Amen but this was a "missions rainbow with a jet airplane flying through it". Did you catch that, "A Missions Rainbow"? Rainbows are always a "sign" from God that He is faithful to His promises. I invite you to be faithful to your covenant and promise to pray for us and this mission trip to Brazil.
Be faithful to your own promises. When we travel from one dominion to another to share God's word and to speak about Jesus Christ we are mindful that on Earth there are dominions, principalities and powers that are spiritual in nature and that we at times pass from one spiritual dominion to another as we travel. You want evidence??? Can't give it in this writing due to time, but will consider it at another writing.
It suffices to say that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against dominions and principalities in the spiritual realms. Do battle with us confirmed by God's promise that He goes ahead of us to dominate and subdue strongholds for His own glory. Ok enough for now... be blessed and look for a tweet or two tommorow or the next day. We leave hotel at 5 am and are due into our location at Brazil at about midnight. Let's see how I can find a way to tweet something that wont' cost alot of money. This is the challenge and the fun part...together we will see how God finds the way to work it out.
Be Blessed,
Wayne Gaines

(Images courtesy of CNN) PCN WILL BE BRINGING NEWS FROM ISLAMABAD CHRISTIANS
Pakistan Christian News will send a special representative to Islamabad to encourage the over 2,000 Christians who are marginalized and living on a narrow strip of land in an improvised tent city in downtown Islamabad. These marginalized Christians are living literally in the median and next to the roadway without basic elements of life and in great peril of diseases. Moved from one area and promised land that never materialized, they have been living in no man's land for some time now. In effect the Christians have become Christian Refugees inside of Pakistan. Our special Pakistani representative will move among them to share a native Pakistani Christian perspective.
Reporting on this has been somewhat limited although CNN provided an excellent video and some reporting on their situation sometime back. PCN is sending our special representative to not only report on the situation, as it exist for these Christians, but the PCN special representative will seek to encourage these brethren through prayer, preaching, teaching. The Barnabas Aid Fund has noted that they will attempt to provide material support in the form of food aid. Support them at the link above if you can help. Also PCN's incurred cost are being funded by private Christians around the world who are greatly concerned with the state of the persecuted church in Pakistan.
Check back for reports and pictures soon. PCN will also attempt to visit with some Christians persons who are held prisioners in Islamabad for the purpose of providing insight into their situation and circumstances. Please pray for the PCN special representative who will be reporting back soon.
